Abstract
A reading comprehension lesson was conducted, which consisted of teams of 2–3 people working together, reading texts, writing summaries, and group presentations. Activities such as reading specified texts, writing summaries, and giving presentations are frequently performed in university classes; however, preparing a summary to explain a text to others requires a deep comprehension of the text in order to reconstruct the content that one has understood. Preparation of summaries as a collaborative learning exercise clarified the activity's learning objectives. Additionally, a higher quality level of peer reading was observed.
